Carr Sportsman - for sale £1550 - Excellent condition with Roqsolid Cover.

Excellent sounding amp, does a mean Princeton style tone with some extra range in available sounds. Lovely reverb as well

Comes with the excellent Jenson Blackbird 40 Alnico speaker which really suits the amp and also is light! This is a real grab and go combo due to how light it is.

Picked up in a trade to try it against the Rambler, unfortunately the Rambler despite being a bit of a pain in the ass weight wise, is much more my thing tonally.

£1550 collection only or I can meet within reason, wherever we can arrange collection. 

Carr Blurb:

We know those sounds from countless guitar-driven hits of the ’50s and ’60s, laced with everything from toothy, biting twang to snappy, glassy chime enabled by those classic Fullteron amps’ transition from tweed to blackface. The Carr Sportsman captures it all in one versatile and eminently playable package, exuding tones so sweet you can stop turning back to tweak and just let your calloused fingertips dig in and enjoy.

While fusing the purity and clarity of an American reverb amp of the mid ’60s with the more aggressive dual-6V6 output stage of the late ’50s, Carr extends the Sportsman’s vocabulary with a fully usable Volume control, a wide-ranging Mid knob, and a Headroom control—the secret weapon that helps you bridge the decades. With the bonus of Carr’s delectable tube-driven, long-spring reverb, the full package makes for a lot of sonic splendor at your beck and call.

Rarely does one 19-watt, single-channel, 1x12" combo do so many things so well, but the Sportsman’s sonic purity and the chameleon-like capabilities of its control complement merge for a ton of versatility. From scooped rust-belt funk and R&B cleans, to stinging edge-of-breakup Chicago blues, to snarling Tex-Mex grind, and even a nod toward trans-Atlantic crunch and wail, it’s all there with just the twist of a few simple controls.

Friedman Runt 20 - £800 - Excellent Condition 

Sooooo, after singing this heads praises for the longest time (and it is great tbh, but I don't need two Marshall style heads), the recently purchased PRS HDRX20 has usurped it for me anyway.

That being said, the quality of these is unmistakable and it sounds glorious through a 2x12, if I could keep both I would but there you go.

Has a very usable clean channel and a crunch channel with boost. It's a hot rodded Marshall tone and the boost puts it into Friedman Brown Eye territory. Has a great fx loop and also very handily it has a built in load and a direct out with hardwired speaker modelling.

In excellent condition with just a small scratch on the rear panel, complete with boxed foot switch & cable. Signed by Dave himself also on the chassis (think he signs off all of em TBF!)

Yours for £800 I have a box and can ship at your cost and risk (message and we can work it out) can meet or deliver around Leicestershire or Buckinghamshire/Berkshire possibly.
